Author's notes

My gun/spirit hybrid build that started as a personal edit of chudzu but has gotten a lot of modifications along the way and it's kind of its own thing now. Focuses on gun early until you build your spirit spikes.

Items in buying order

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_Earlyrush tesla if the lane is good
Extended Magazine 800extends your magazine
Titanic Magazine 1,600will make your trades much better as it alleviates the problem of Ivy having very low ammo early as well as providing decent damage
Tesla Bullets 3,200If the lane is not at all to your favor then prioritize other items first.
Healbane 1,600Grab another 3.2k green item to reach your spike

Monster Rounds 800if you need more damage to push waves or you're against Rem
Restorative Shot 800you can opt to this over extra regen if you are planning on sticking with the lane instead of roaming
Rebuttal 800the funniest item in the game, buy if dealing with hard melee lanes
